.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter &
regulator are used, they will keep the tool in good condition, and
the lubricator should be regularly checked and topped up with oil.
SAE 10 oil should be used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2
drops per minute.
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool.
Ensure that air pressure does not exceed that stated in the
specification for the tool when running. Higher pressures and
contaminated air will shorten the life of the air tool due to faster
wear and is a possible safety hazard.
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off. Before using the airline, drain water
from the air reservoir at the compressor.
2. The filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service
whenever possible.
3. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with the inside clean and free of
dirt. Pipe joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to the
male pipe — never into the female port.
4. Take care using PTFE tape to seal pipe joints — pieces have a tendency to
break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
5. Install the filter so that air flows as marked by the arrow on the filter body.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS.
